Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you to all the witnesses for appearing this morning.
I was particularly interested in the comments of Mr. Donald from the Canadian Council for Aviation and Aerospace and Ms. Medve from KF Aerospace, and the concerns they brought forward in terms of retention, skills development and getting people back into the workforce.
Mr. Donald, I believe you indicated that 55,000 workers are going to be needed by 2025. Ms. Medve, you had mentioned a 33% loss in the job force. As we're looking at development and support for the aerospace industry as part of this study, what can government do to help foster the college training programs, the retention and the retraining that are required so that a workforce on the supply side can be maintained?
If we don't, those jobs and those companies—that Ms. Medve, for instance, operates—will just go elsewhere, as Mr. Donald mentioned.
